Rita
Step into the rugged world of 18th-century New York with Mohawk (1956), a classic Western adventure directed by Kurt Neumann. Starring Scott Brady, Rita Gam, and Neville Brand, this colorful frontier drama combines romance, conflict, and a struggle for peace in the historic Mohawk Valley.

The story follows Jonathan Adams, a Boston artist sent to the frontier to paint landscapes and portraits. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he meets Onida, the daughter of a Mohawk chief. As their relationship grows, tensions between settlers and Native American communities threaten to destroy the fragile peace. When a scheming settler fuels distrust and conflict, Jonathan finds himself caught between two worlds.

Featuring beautiful outdoor scenery, vintage Western atmosphere, and an engaging romantic storyline, Mohawk is an entertaining choice for fans of classic 1950s Western cinema.

00:00:41Mohan, you are my destiny
00:00:50Mohan, my heart will never be, never free
00:00:56Mohan
00:00:59I hear the sound of my heart
00:01:09I hear the sound of my heart
00:01:15I hear the sound of my heart
00:01:19Oh, my
00:01:21More
00:01:22Oh, my
00:01:42Were
00:01:46Let's go.
00:02:32Why are they handsome?
00:02:34Aunt Agatha.
00:02:35At my age, a lady no longer has to hide her admiration for handsome men.
00:02:40What are they?
00:02:41Garrick Ward.
00:02:43Are they friendly?
00:02:44I don't call a poisonous snake, my friend, on account of he don't bite me.
00:02:48Jonathan said it was so peaceful.
00:02:50Oh, he's an artist.
00:02:52He prefers not to see things other people do.
00:02:55Snakes is snakes.
00:03:03Do they mean to make trouble?
00:03:05They never tell what they mean, ma'am.
00:03:08It's them young ones.
00:03:09Especially them Tuscaroras from the south.
00:03:11They're the ones to look out for.
00:03:12I thought you said they were Iroquois.
00:03:15They're all Iroquois, miss.
00:03:16The French give that name to the Mohawks.
00:03:19Oneidas, Tuscaroras, Cayugas, and the Senecas when they joined up together.
00:03:24This is all Mohawk country.
00:03:26The ones with the shaved heads is Mohawks.
00:03:28The long hairs are Tuscaroras.
00:03:30They're fearsome fighters, them Mohawks.
00:03:33Ain't nobody, not even the French or the British, ever beat them in a battle.
00:03:37How soon do we reach Fort Alden?
00:03:40About midday.
00:03:41We don't have no trouble.
00:03:53There's the fort.
00:03:57How do I look, Aunt Agatha?
00:03:59Like a very proper lady going to tea.
00:04:04Evidently you don't approve.
00:04:06When a woman puts on a war paint, she's more dangerous than any Mohawk.
00:04:10Except that we like our scalps with something under them.
00:04:35and there is no lack of equipment where the men are.
00:04:49And there is not enough material, you're but防do.
00:04:52Okay, Sergeant.
00:04:57Yes, sir!
00:04:58Have them dry that wagon in the back of the arsenal.
00:05:01Keep a guard posted on it till it's unloaded.
00:05:03Yes, sir.
00:05:09Something precious?
00:05:11Foskets and powder.
00:05:13But there's something really precious.
00:05:21She appears to be already well guarded.
00:05:24The chaperone may need relief.
00:05:26Excuse me.
00:05:31May I present myself, madam?
00:05:33I'm Captain Langley, Commandant of Fort Alden.
00:05:35How do you do?
00:05:36My niece, Cynthia Stanhope.
00:05:38I am Agatha Stanhope.
00:05:40We've come to visit Mr. Jonathan Adams, the painter.
00:05:43Do you know him?
00:05:44Yes, ma'am.
00:05:45Where does he live?
00:05:49You needn't get that frosty look.
00:05:51My niece is his fiancée.
00:05:54Is he expecting you?
00:05:55Well, no. I wanted to surprise him.
00:05:58You will.
00:05:58Do you know where I might find him?
00:06:01Just a moment.
00:06:04Clem!
00:06:05Clem Jones!
00:06:06Come over here, please.
00:06:10Yes, Captain?
00:06:11Clem, these ladies are looking for Jonathan Adams.
00:06:13So are all the other ladies.
00:06:16Clem, Clem!
00:06:17Miss Cynthia Stanhope is Jonathan's fiancée.
00:06:20Ha, ha, ha!
00:06:22No.
00:06:24This is not so funny.
00:06:25He knows about this.
00:06:27My good man, we did not come here to discuss our personal affairs with you.
00:06:31We simply want to know where Mr. Jonathan Adams lives and where he is at this moment, and that is
00:06:35all thank you.
00:06:36You are very welcome.
00:06:38Captain Langley.
00:06:39Clem, where is Adams?
00:06:41Yes.
00:06:41Out there someplace.
00:06:43With all those frightening Indians.
00:06:45There's nothing to be afraid of, ma'am.
00:06:47The Indians here about are our friends right now.
00:06:49I will certainly consider you laxing your responsibilities if you allowed him to go out there without an adequate escort.
00:06:54Oh, he's not alone.
00:06:55He took a cow along.
00:06:57And my daughter, Greta.
00:07:15Jonathan.
00:07:16Uh-huh.
00:07:17I'm hurting all over.
00:07:20Oh, I'm sorry, Greta.
00:07:22Rest a while.
00:07:29I'm very beautiful.
00:07:30Oh, and the cow?
00:07:32It is a cow.
00:07:35Why are you laughing?
00:07:37I always laugh when someone else laughs.
00:07:39It is my disposition.
00:07:41And if someone should cry?
00:07:44Well, a woman enjoys to cry almost as much as she does to laugh.
00:07:58That feels wonderful.
00:08:00I know.
00:08:01I do it for my father all the time.
00:08:08You know how to do everything to make a man happy.
00:08:11That, too, is my disposition.
00:08:17And when a man kisses you?
00:08:19I kiss him?
00:08:44You have a lovely disposition, Greta.
00:08:47I am happy with it.
00:08:48You know I should marry a girl like you.
00:08:51You are very sweet to say that.
00:08:53But you should not marry me.
00:08:54I am too stupid for you.
00:08:56May the Lord protect me from a brainy woman.
00:08:58Not if she is brainy for you.
00:09:01Ten years from now, I will be fat like my father.
00:09:04Now we'll marry a father that's stupid like me.
00:09:06We'll have to marry children.
00:09:08We'll be joey together until we die.
00:09:10Now I am beginning to think you are the smartest woman I have ever known.
00:09:13I am too happy to be smart.
00:09:56Who will lead me to the Chief Kawanen?
00:10:02Rabbits do not talk.
00:10:03Men do.
00:10:04And the crow screams from the highest branch because it is afraid to touch its feet to the ground.
00:10:21How will you answer me?
00:10:23I will answer when you tell me why you must see him.
00:10:26Since when does the great Kawanen permit boys to decide who will and who will not see him?
00:10:31Your tongue is too long.
00:10:33You will not shorten it.
00:10:34I am in your village as a friend and your laws protect me.
00:10:39I am Kyoga, son of Kawanen.
00:10:42I will carry your message.
00:10:44Then tell your father that I come to give him warning.
00:10:46Of what?
00:10:48More settlers and more muskets.
00:11:00White man Butler says he brings you warning of new settlers and more muskets.
00:11:20Greetings, Kawanen.
00:11:21My son says you bring a warning.
00:11:24Numbers tell more than words.
00:11:26Today 61 settlers and a wagon load of muskets arrived at Fort Alden.
00:11:31Why is this a warning?
00:11:33Whose land will the settlers turn into plowed fields?
00:11:37There is plenty of land.
00:11:39Against whom will the muskets be used?
00:11:41It is wise to be strong, for this keeps your enemies peaceful.
00:11:46It is talk that many more soldiers will come.
00:11:48The eagle is not afraid of the mole.
00:11:51Those were my father's words.
00:11:54And he is dead.
00:11:57And we, the once proud Tuscarora, are driven from our land by whites.
00:12:02And come like beggars to our friend the Mohawks.
00:12:05For a handful of corn.
00:12:07And a piece of earth on which to spread our blankets.
00:12:10He was advised not to make war.
00:12:12There was no peace without surrender.
00:12:15They came one by one until they swarmed like ants all over us.
00:12:19And left us nothing but a choice of how to die.
00:12:23It is happening here.
00:12:24I did.
00:12:25As I saw it happen there.
00:12:27The great spirit brought the Iroquois to the tree of peace.
00:12:31And taught us to listen to the eagle that sees afar.
00:12:35And the wise men told us we must bind ourselves together by holding each other's hands so strongly.
00:12:41Nothing could break them apart.
00:12:44White men cannot destroy us unless we forget the great laws.
00:12:48And so destroy ourselves first.
00:12:51I will make no war on the white men.
00:12:57Why do you want us to fight your own people?
00:13:00They are not my people.
00:13:10Once there was no greater warrior than your father, Kawanan.
00:13:13He is getting old.
00:13:15His spirit is gone.
00:13:16I do not understand him.
00:13:18I would have said at least let us take the muskets so they will not be used against us.
00:13:22Oneida.
00:13:29Will you help us get those muskets?
00:13:30But if you are caught there will be killing.
00:13:32A mohawk is not afraid to die for his land.
00:13:35Learn from the Tuscarora.
00:13:37Whose old men called us young ones, makers of fire.
00:13:40And chained us with their peaceful words until it was even too late to die.
00:13:43The muskets make us that much stronger.
00:13:45You heard what our father said.
00:13:47I take our father's advice when I take the muskets.
00:13:50With my own ears I heard him say,
00:13:51it is wise to be strong.
00:13:53For this keeps your enemy peaceful.
00:14:03Oh.
00:14:15Really, Mr. Jones.
00:14:17The fattest woman in the fort will buy this.
00:14:19She will never try to wear it.
00:14:21But it will make her happy to pretend it is her size.
00:14:36When do they close the gates?
00:14:38At sunset.
00:14:39The sun is setting now.
00:14:43Can anyone get into the fort after the gates are closed?
00:14:46The gates do not open again until sunrise.
00:14:49Aren't you worried about your daughter?
00:14:51They always get back just as the gates are closing.
00:14:54Always.
00:15:10You.
00:15:11It's sunset.
00:15:12All Indians outside the wall.
00:15:14I left my blanket back there.
00:15:16I do not wish to lose it.
00:15:17Go get it.
00:15:19Hurry up.
00:15:31Close the gates.
00:15:38Go get it.
00:15:38Wagon coming, sir.
00:15:50Let's go, sir.
00:15:50Open the gates.
00:16:02My cow, thank you.
00:16:04Welcome.
00:16:05I'm getting tired of keeping the gates open for her almost every night.
00:16:08Now, don't be too hot on her, Captain.
00:16:09She can get everything when she's having her portrait painted.
00:16:15Close the gates.
00:16:20Poor Langley, I'm afraid I'd give him a...
00:16:24Cynthia!
00:16:27Here.
00:16:32Cynthia!
00:16:34Well, now, what cloud did you fly in on?
00:16:36I gave her a ride on my broom.
00:16:39Dear Aunt Agatha, as frightening as ever.
00:16:41Dear Jonathan, as flighty as usual, even in the wilderness.
00:16:46Oh, that's Sir Greta. She models for me.
00:16:49But you were commissioned by the Massachusetts Society to do 20 landscapes.
00:16:53And I have not a single painting without at least one tree in the background.
00:16:56Show them to me, Jonathan.
00:16:58Well, naturally, naturally.
00:16:59But first we must get you settled and talk about you and Boston and family and friends.
00:17:03The paintings can wait.
00:17:04I'd like to see them now, Jonathan.
00:17:07Well, do you insist?
00:17:08Coming in, Agatha?
00:17:09I'm not the least interested in your paintings, Jonathan.
00:17:12Only in your character.
00:17:13But you'll know me better through my work.
00:17:15I will know you with more pleasure when you engage in more profitable work instead of...
00:17:19The painting is my work.
00:17:20And if you've made this long journey to say the same things you've been saying...
00:17:23Please, Jonathan.
00:17:24I do so badly want to see your pictures.
00:17:27We won't be gone long.
00:17:30All these miles.
00:17:32Days and days in the wagon.
00:17:33Can't even say how do you do before beginning...
00:17:35Where are we going, anyway?
00:17:37To see your pictures.
00:17:38Oh.
00:17:39They're over there.
00:17:43Greta.
00:17:44Take care of the wagon, please.
00:17:55So you're his model, hmm?
00:17:57Yes.
00:17:58He works very hard, ma'am.
00:18:00And very good, too.
00:18:02Look.
00:18:03I'll show you.
00:18:13Is that all new?
00:18:16And very beautiful.
00:18:18Yes.
00:18:19All together too obviously.
00:19:01Very interesting.
00:19:04Really, Jonathan.
00:19:05How can you live in this dungeon?
00:19:06I don't.
00:19:07I just sleep here.
00:19:08Keep my belongings here.
00:19:10Otherwise, I'm out of doors for as long as there is light.
00:19:12You were to be home two months ago.
00:19:14One loses track of time out here.
00:19:16There are the Four Seasons and Easter and Christmas.
00:19:18And the days don't seem to count as calendar days.
00:19:23Jonathan.
00:19:24Hmm?
00:19:24Come home with me now before the winter sets in.
00:19:27And get involved in politics?
00:19:28No, no.
00:19:29Not me, dear.
00:19:30I'm a painter, not a politician.
00:19:32All I want to do is paint.
00:19:33You act like an irresponsible child.
00:19:35You need someone to take care of you.
00:19:41You are really quite wonderful, Cynthia.
00:19:44You made this long, hard journey to tell me this because...
00:19:47Because I love you.
00:19:53What am I to do about you, Cynthia?
00:19:55Marry me.
00:19:56Oh, you've decided?
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:59We'll have a lovely home in Boston.
00:20:01And you'll do wonderful portraits of important people.
00:20:03Shades of Aunt Agatha.
00:20:05That's not very kind.
00:20:07Forgive me.
00:20:09I'm hungry.
00:20:10How can you think of food at a time like this?
00:20:14Well, with you, my dear Cynthia,
00:20:15one is not permitted to think of anything more exhilarating.
00:20:18I just can't understand you, Jonathan.
00:20:21And you mustn't.
00:20:22You see, you risk propriety if you do.
00:20:24And where would a gentlewoman be without her precious propriety?
00:20:28In any event, a man with a full stomach is much easier to handle.
00:20:42Back from a gentlewoman.
00:20:45And propriety's lengthier.
00:20:47Oh, I'll be right back here.
00:20:48I can't wait for you when I woke up with a good day.
00:20:48Go on.
00:20:48Go.
00:20:51Don't let go.
00:20:54Go.
00:21:04Go.
00:21:05Go on.
00:21:06Go.
00:21:06Go.
00:21:06Go!
00:21:06Go.
00:21:08Go.
00:21:08Go.
00:21:10Go.
00:21:16THE END
00:21:40Love plays the strings of my banjo
00:21:44When I am dreaming of you
00:21:51Love plays the strings of my banjo
00:21:55And tells me my darlin' is true
00:22:02Need your kiss, little sweetheart
00:22:06When the day is done
00:22:12Need your kiss, little sweetheart
00:22:17Like the earth needs the sun
00:22:22So when I strum on my banjo
00:22:27The world is humming along
00:22:33Love plays the strings of my banjo
00:22:37When I put my heart in my song
00:22:44Good appetite
00:22:46The bell of Fort Alvin
00:22:47She should be wrung every hour
00:22:50As a warning to all decent young people
00:22:52You have a lusty wit, madam
00:22:55Miss, sir
00:22:55And a spinster because my wit made me laugh
00:22:58Every time a man proposed
00:23:00In due time, the joke was on me
00:23:05Oh, hello, Cynthia
00:23:07Uh, this is Mr. Butler
00:23:09How do you do?
00:23:10You've already met Captain Langley
00:23:12I presume you two gentlemen know each other
00:23:14We can hardly avoid knowing each other
00:23:17In a community as small as this
00:23:20Has he done anything worth looking at, Cynthia?
00:23:23There are some very interesting things
00:23:26Mr. Adams has not thought to show us any of his work
00:23:29Well, I didn't think you were interested, Mr. Butler
00:23:31Anything that happens in the Mohawk Valley is of interest to me
00:23:34Have you been here very long?
00:23:36I was born here, Miss Stannard
00:23:38My family was the only white family in this area
00:23:40Until the settlers began coming in
00:23:44I used to think of this entire valley as my personal property
00:23:48Weren't the Indians here before you?
00:23:50Indians?
00:23:51The Indians are savages
00:23:52They have no more rights than animals
00:23:54The Spanish knew what they were doing
00:23:55And they made slaves of them
00:23:56No one will ever make a slave of an Iroquois
00:23:59Then they should be slaughtered
00:24:00Before they slaughter us
00:24:02But no one will listen to me, Miss Stannard
00:24:04They'll pry their fields and dig their graves at the same time
00:24:08The settlers come
00:24:10And then the preachers
00:24:11And the soldiers
00:24:12And even the painters of pictures
00:24:15Squeeze the great valley into a small frame like a fence
00:24:19And that's the end of freedom to breathe
00:24:24Idiots
00:24:28What a frightening man
00:24:30I never can decide which he hates more
00:24:32The Indians or the settlers
00:24:35I'm not sure he's quite sane
00:24:37He's wrong about the Indians, I know that
00:24:39We leave them alone, they'll leave us alone
00:25:08Call me
00:25:19Let's go.
00:25:51Let's go.
00:26:15Why don't you go out?
00:26:17Do something.
00:26:18He'll get along fine without me.
00:26:26All right.
00:26:26Hold your fire.
00:26:28Stop shooting at Shanna's before you slaughter each other.
00:26:33They're most likely gone by now.
00:26:36We'll form a detail and search the fort from one end to the other.
00:26:39How'd they get in here?
00:26:40Fine bunch of soldiers.
00:26:43I'll find out how they got in here.
00:26:52Well, come on.
00:26:53Sit down.
00:26:53Finish your supper.
00:26:55Eat at a time like this?
00:26:57Maybe you'd rather go to your room than go to sleep.
00:26:59Who could sleep with all this commotion going on?
00:27:02By the time you're ready for bed, it'll all be over.
00:27:04I am rather tired, Aunt Agatha.
00:27:07Somebody better make certain there are no Indians in our room waiting to scalp us.
00:27:11Come along.
00:27:29Any Indians in here?
00:27:33You fool.
00:27:37You've had a long journey.
00:27:38Sleep late tomorrow morning.
00:27:39What will you be doing?
00:27:41Working.
00:27:42With that girl?
00:27:44That girl.
00:27:44And the cow, too.
00:27:45Picture isn't finished yet.
00:27:47Sleep late, dear.
00:27:52Good night, Aunt Agatha.
00:28:00This isn't Boston, Cynthia.
00:28:04A long face doesn't stand a chance against a round of ammunition in the right places.
00:28:46Beautiful.
00:28:47Let me go.
00:28:48Oh, no.
00:28:50Then kill me.
00:28:50I like beautiful things.
00:28:52I like them alive.
00:28:53I'd rather paint you.
00:28:58Magnificent.
00:29:00Your eyes like lightning, will you?
00:29:02I know what's in that painter's room.
00:29:04All right, let's go.
00:29:06They're coming in here.
00:29:07Hide over there.
00:29:09Hurry up!
00:29:24There she is.
00:29:25We built this tunnel ten years ago, so we could get the Indians from behind, if they were attacking us.
00:29:33Someone must have opened it for me inside.
00:29:36Been entertaining any Indians lately?
00:29:38No more than usual.
00:29:40Fetch a keg apart it.
00:29:41Ah, it's been so peaceful so long, I plumb forgot about that tunnel.
00:29:45What got into those redskins tonight, Captain?
00:29:48I don't know.
00:29:49Mean, just plain mean.
00:29:51Killed for the love of killing.
00:29:52You should be skinned alive, every one of them.
00:29:55The dirty, mean, ignorant, slinking redskinned skunks.
00:29:59For letting you take your land away from them?
00:30:02Whose side you on?
00:30:03Nobody's.
00:30:04I'm a painter.
00:30:04You sound like an Indian lover, Mr. Painter.
00:30:07I have no reason to hate them.
00:30:09You seen what they've done tonight?
00:30:10Maybe it was our fault.
00:30:12If you don't like how we do around here, you can get out.
00:30:15Messing around with pictures ain't gonna help settle this valley.
00:30:18Put it in the tunnel.
00:31:02I have no reason to hate them.
00:31:04Sorry.
00:31:06We'll double the guards.
00:31:07Keep on searching.
00:31:25You all right?
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:28I guess you'll have to stay here until tomorrow morning.
00:31:31Then I'll smuggle you out in my wagon.
00:31:33Why?
00:31:34Maybe I just don't know any better.
00:31:36You are not like the others.
00:31:38People have been telling me that since I was six, and I still don't believe it.
00:31:41Trouble is, the others aren't like me.
00:31:42That is too bad.
00:31:45Well, don't be so timid.
00:31:47I only want to see the other side of your face.
00:31:52Magnificent.
00:31:53You must let me paint you.
00:32:04I'm sorry, but it's the best I have to offer.
00:32:06Good night.
00:32:20I won't let me smell like this.
00:32:22You are my favorite.
00:32:27I won't see the other side of your face.
00:32:31I don't know why.
00:32:34Here we go.
00:32:36Let's see.
00:33:01Good morning.
00:33:02Good morning.
00:33:05Jonathan is going to fetch the cow.
00:33:07I wonder why he bothers to paint the cow when he already has you in the picture.
00:33:13The cow is expected by the Massachusetts Society.
00:33:17I am the surprise.
00:33:18Let's go.
00:33:19Let's go.
00:33:21Let's go.
00:33:22Let's go.
00:33:22Let's go.
00:33:22Let's go.
00:33:23Let's go.
00:33:27Let's go.
00:33:28Let's go.
00:33:28Let's go.
00:33:28Let's go.
00:33:30Let's go.
00:33:31Let's go.
00:33:32Let's go.
00:33:47Let's go.
00:33:48Water jugs when they go courting a lady.
00:33:56Good morning, Greta.
00:33:57Good morning, Cynthia.
00:33:58Good morning, Jonathan.
00:33:59Perfect light today.
00:34:00Don't want to lose it.
00:34:01I'd like to come along, Jonathan.
00:34:03After last night, dear, I wouldn't think of it.
00:34:05No telling what those mohawks might be up to today.
00:34:07Well, you shouldn't go either.
00:34:09I carry a beautiful charm along that will protect me.
00:34:12Oh, I didn't mean you, Greta.
00:34:14You can't go along either.
00:34:15I'm only petting the cow today.
00:34:17See you at sundown.
00:34:20Who will get your lunch?
00:34:23I'll milk the cow.
00:34:33Open the gates.
00:34:34Anyone leaving the port today does so at their own risk.
00:34:37Captain Langley will not be responsible.
00:34:39All right, he's not responsible.
00:34:41Open the gates.
00:35:11You can come out now.
00:35:15They're angry with you.
00:35:17They'll get over it.
00:35:18Which is in love with you?
00:35:19Neither one.
00:35:20And yet they, they kiss you?
00:35:22It amuses them.
00:35:23An Indian woman does not kiss, not even for amusement.
00:35:27Come up here next to me.
00:35:29Come up here.
00:35:30Come up here.
00:35:33Ooh.
00:35:36Bonita.
00:35:38I'm going to kiss you.
00:35:48and just why are you laughing you look so long-faced and your mouth became little as if
00:35:54you'd eaten a bitter root you're supposed to close your eyes when you're kissed do i close
00:35:58my eyes to watch a sunset what does that have to do with it your sunset is as beautiful as
00:36:03the spring flowers or the silver path of the moon across the water the eyes open to welcome beauty

00:38:53step-by-step
00:39:16Let's go!
00:39:57Are you all right?
00:39:59You're a good lad, Kyoga.
00:40:01But you'd better put on some more size
00:40:03before you challenge a man that big.
00:40:05Will you teach me how to...
00:40:06Sure, I'll teach you.
00:40:13A good guest does not create disturbances
00:40:15in his host's house.
00:40:17I beg you to forgive me.
00:40:20And please do not be too hard on him.
00:40:22I told you he was our friend, Father.
00:40:25I believe it.
00:40:27You will be welcome always
00:40:29wherever there is a Mohawk fire.
00:40:33I will paint pictures of you, Kawanan,
00:40:35and your ways,
00:40:36and I will show them to my people
00:40:37so that they will know you better.
00:40:44He who fills his mouth with big words
00:40:45ends by eating dirt.
00:40:55Any sign of the wagon yet, Sergeant?
00:40:58No, sir.
00:40:59All right, close the gates.
00:41:05Have he ever stayed out this late before?
00:41:07No, miss.
00:41:08It is vetted serving.
00:41:09Most likely killed by the Indians.
00:41:14What a horrible man.
00:41:16He should not say those bad things
00:41:17unless it is true.
00:41:18What else can it be?
00:41:20There aren't any pretty women out there, are there?
00:41:22I insist that you and your soldiers
00:41:24make an immediate search for that man.
00:41:26Why would you search for him?
00:41:28I'd start with the Mohawk village.
00:41:30They may not be agreeable.
00:41:32Then burn it down.
00:41:33We don't happen to be at war with the Mohawk.
00:41:36What was last night?
00:41:37A social visit.
00:41:38If you won't send your soldiers,
00:41:40I'll gather the settlers and we'll go ourselves.
00:41:41The gates are closed, Mr. Butler.
00:41:44Neither you nor anyone else
00:41:45goes out of this fort tonight.
00:41:47There's no reason yet to believe
00:41:49Jonathan's had trouble with the Mohawks.
00:41:51Maybe he lost his cow and still looking for it.
00:42:07What are they singing, Juanita?
00:42:09They tell of Te Dagoita,
00:42:11who brought love and laughter
00:42:12and the tree of peace to the Iroquois.
00:42:16I didn't know an Indian could laugh till I met you.
00:42:19Do the small bird sing
00:42:21when the hawk circles his nest?
00:42:24As for love and peace,
00:42:26you might as well have told me
00:42:27the Indians have wings and fly among the angels.
00:42:30They do.
00:42:32Why has the white man never learned to love?
00:42:36Does the hawk love
00:42:37when he circles the small bird's nest?
00:42:40Then you do know love.
00:42:43As you know peace and laughter.
00:42:45I am glad.
00:42:49And from Ontario,
00:42:51where live the Hurons,
00:42:53came De Gagawida,
00:42:55father of the Iroquois,
00:42:58to plant the tree of peace
00:43:00beside Lake Unandaga.
00:43:03The tree of peace
00:43:05whose roots are in the heaven.
00:43:34To be Superwoman,
00:43:37Come on!
00:44:04Throw it back!
00:44:05Come out and get it.
00:44:07Throw it back!
00:44:09Come and get it.
00:44:26Now you get it.
00:44:40Come and get it.
00:44:44Come on!
00:44:48Come on!
00:44:50Come on!
00:44:52Come on!
00:44:57Come on!
00:45:11Let's go.
00:45:31Let's go.
00:45:59Let's go.
00:46:04But it's been days. How can you stand by and do nothing all this time?
00:46:08He knew it was not a good time to leave the fort.
00:46:11He's city-bred. He doesn't understand these things.
00:46:14He didn't realize how dangerous it was.
00:46:17He should have. He's been here long enough.
00:46:19He used to make out like we was the main one.
00:46:21He's most likely found the truth by now.
00:46:25How can you laugh?
00:46:27They laugh because they are men and try to hide with laughter that they are afraid to go out there
00:46:30and look for Jonathan.
00:46:32That is why they laugh.
00:46:33I ain't fighting no Indians for that painter fellow.
00:46:35I like hair on my head.
00:46:37My crops mean more to me than he does.
00:46:39Let this go unpunished and you'll lose your lives as well as crops.
00:46:43Butler!
00:46:44I might have you stirring up a war against the Mohawks.
00:46:46The war has started, Captain.
00:46:49That senseless little raid several nights ago, now this.
00:46:52The crafty devil's feeling out your courage.
00:46:54When he finds you haven't got any, he'll come in one night and slaughter every one of you.
00:47:00He's right.
00:47:01He's stupid.
00:47:02Or crazy.
00:47:03The Iroquois are thousands.
00:47:04We are maybe 200.
00:47:06How can we punish them?
00:47:07Well, that's your problem and you'll have to solve it without us.
00:47:10We're going back to Boston.
00:47:11Yes, that is very wise.
00:47:14I'm not leaving here until I know what happened to Jonathan.
00:47:18I always knew I'd die a spinster.
00:47:21Now, where is he going?
00:47:48The captain from the fort.
00:47:50Nothing better.
00:48:03Is this the white friend's greeting to Kuanan and his family?
00:48:10I beg your forgiveness, Kuanan.
00:48:12This thoughtless imp of Satan has been gone for days and we thought him dead or lost.
00:48:17After all my worry, it struck me funny to find him peacefully employed at painting your portrait.
00:48:22You would do better to be angry with him.
00:48:24That comes now.
00:48:25With your permission.
00:48:30I should beat your brains in for all the trouble you've caused.
00:48:33What has he done?
00:48:34About driven me crazy, that's all.
00:48:37The settlers don't understand the Iroquois Kuanan.
00:48:39They listen to this madman butler who frightens them with gory predictions of massacre by painted redskins.
00:48:45When Jonathan failed to return, he promptly said the Indians killed him
00:48:48and started agitating for a war against you as punishment for your crime.
00:48:52He's got the people all stirred up.
00:48:54I guess I better get back to the fort as quickly as possible.
00:48:57Show myself alive and happy.
00:48:58Will you be back?
00:49:00Quickly as a horse can run.
00:49:02Keogar, you will go with them.
00:49:05He who plans war does not send his only son into the enemy camp.
00:49:09They will understand that better than 10,000 words.
00:49:14Each time I look upon Kuanan and his wife Minica,
00:49:17I thank my God for them, their wisdom and their goodness.
00:49:20Long life to you.
00:49:22And to you, long life.
00:49:24How soon will he be in?
00:49:26I've got some paintings to take and I want to bring back some more supplies,
00:49:29so I'll take the wagon.
00:49:30We better take back that cow too.
00:49:31And I won't wait for you.
00:49:33I can try to get in before sundown.
00:49:37We'll be back with tomorrow's son.
00:49:42Kiyoga.
00:49:43Yes?
00:49:44Be careful of your manners among the white people.
00:49:47Yes, Mother.
00:50:17I'll be back with you, sir.
00:50:28Let's go.
00:50:59I don't understand it.
00:51:01He promised to be here by sundown.
00:51:04Could something have happened?
00:51:06Can't think of anything.
00:51:08Everything was certainly peaceful enough when I left.
00:51:11That Jonathan.
00:51:12When he is painting, he forgets time.
00:51:15Might as well get some sleep.
00:51:24Good evening.
00:51:28He should know better than to hide in shadows when there's an Indian worry on.
00:51:32Indian worry?
00:51:33I thought the Indians were peaceful.
00:51:35You said so yourself, Captain.
00:51:37And you know better than anyone how to read the Indian mind.
00:51:40Evacuate the fort.
00:51:41Get out of the valley or you'll all be dead within 24 hours.
00:51:44You worry too much, Mr. Butler.
00:51:46You will get bad stomach trouble.
00:51:55Now this day we are met together.
00:51:58The great spirit has appointed this day.
00:52:02Now this day we are met.
00:52:04Because of this death which is our lot.
00:52:12Now into the ground will he be born, the young Kyoga.
00:52:17Now then, we wipe away the falling tears so that peacefully you may look around.
00:52:28Then something stops your ears.
00:52:31With care we remove whatever it is.
00:52:35So you will hear the words to be said.
00:52:41There is a stoppage in your throat.
00:52:43And we take it away that you may speak your hearts.
00:52:50Every day we are losing our men into the earth they are born.
00:52:56Also our women and children and our grandchildren.
00:53:01So that you are sitting in the midst of blood.
00:53:08I see the ghost of the Tuscarora walking through the woods.
00:53:13And with them I see the ghost of the Mohawk.
00:53:15For you are dead.
00:53:18Dead as Kyoga is dead.
00:53:21Killed.
00:53:22Killed as Kyoga was killed.
00:53:25By the white man.
00:53:27And the ghost must walk the earth until the last day.
00:53:31Because the white man has plowed up the burial ground.
00:53:34And there is no place for the dead to rest.
00:53:38This is what I see.
00:53:40As I see Kyoga dead before me.
00:53:42And no man saying the blood of a hundred white men.
00:53:46For each drop of young Kyoga's blood.
00:53:50You grieve because you have not the courage to fight.
00:53:53You are dead.
00:53:55Dead.
00:53:56No.
00:53:57No.
00:53:59Rotoa the Tuscarora speaks angry words.
00:54:03And maybe with reason.
00:54:05But not he nor I, no matter what is in our hearts, can make war.
00:54:10That only the council can decide.
00:54:13And you will talk for peace.
00:54:15Because your women owned your mind.
00:54:17And a white man owned your daughter.
00:54:21I see it with my own eyes.
00:54:24No.
00:54:25Onida.
00:54:27Go to the house.
00:54:32The white man killed my son.
00:54:35You will not kill my daughter.
00:54:37I love your daughter.
00:54:39The white man does not know love.
00:54:41Only conquest.
00:54:44Let the runners go out to all the chiefs of the clans for a war council.
00:55:07Why did they kill my brother?
00:55:10I don't know, Onida.
00:55:12I can't even begin to understand it.
00:55:14They must have known it would start a war.
00:55:17The madness about this thing.
00:55:20The moon was making ugly faces at the sun.
00:55:23The stars were chasing each other like mad dogs.
00:55:26For they are mad dogs, these white men who would make war to destroy each other.
00:55:31What are they made of that they would deny their own people?
00:55:33What white man has done that?
00:55:35This man Butler.
00:55:37Who came to tell my father of the new muskets.
00:55:39Butler?
00:55:41Why?
00:55:42To make my father war against the settlers.
00:55:46Jonathan, you must leave while there is still time.
00:55:50If the council decide for war, and they will, they will kill you first.
00:55:54But why would Butler...
00:55:56He doesn't matter now.
00:55:58Jonathan, think of yourself.
00:55:59You are a white man.
00:56:01Blood for blood.
00:56:02Jonathan Pakioga.
00:56:04They will kill you and throw your body through the gate of the fort,
00:56:07and that will be their declaration of war.
00:56:11They have decided for war.
00:56:13I must try to stop them.
00:56:14No, Jonathan.
00:56:15They will kill you.
00:56:17Go now.
00:56:19Jonathan!
00:56:40Go on.
00:56:42I'm your friend.
00:56:44You are a white man.
00:56:45Regardless, I am still your friend.
00:56:47You must not blame all white men for this murder.
00:56:50Let me find out first what mad men did this thing.
00:56:53We offered peace.
00:56:54They gave us death.
00:56:56Now they will have war.
00:56:57Let his body carry the flaming war arrows to the white man.
00:57:02So be it.
00:57:12Mother.
00:57:14Mother, they've taken Jonathan prisoner.
00:57:16He is our enemy.
00:57:17You know he isn't.
00:57:18I know his skin is white.
00:57:20I do not know the color of his heart because I cannot see it.
00:57:24You do not sound like my mother.
00:57:26I am also Kioga's mother.
00:57:29I love Kioga.
00:57:30You also love the white man.
00:57:32And I will hate those who hate him.
00:57:34And I will kill those who kill him.
00:57:36Even though it be my own father.
00:57:38Let the law be blood for blood.
00:57:40Then I too must obey this law.
00:57:41This is a man-made law.
00:57:43For men do nothing they enjoy so much as dying.
00:57:47Knowing that women will go on making new life.
00:57:50To take the place of all the wasted dead.
00:57:54What are you waiting for?
00:57:56Go.
00:57:57Free this man.
00:57:57Send him on his way before they cut him up in pieces.
00:58:00The bloodthirsty fool.
00:58:34The Rosa Parks.
00:58:37Stop the
00:59:09It will not be so quick, white man.
00:59:11There will be fire and a tearing of the skin a little at a time.
00:59:17No, you will not die fast.
00:59:19You will die piece by piece.
00:59:22And I shall take the first.
00:59:36Pickle, Anita, cut me loose.
00:59:38Oh, Anita, hurry. Somebody might have heard him.
00:59:47Climb this wall and jump.
00:59:48On the other side, there's a soft brush. You will not be hurt.
00:59:50You're coming with me.
00:59:51I belong with my people. You with yours.
00:59:53I'm not leaving without you.
00:59:55Will it do any good for you to stay here and die instead of going to warn your people?
00:59:59I love you, Anita. I'll come back for you.
01:00:06You see, Jonathan, I keep my eyes closed when I kiss you.
01:00:10And now I know why.
01:00:12Tell me.
01:00:13To love is to close one's eyes to everything except the beauty of love.
01:00:16I'll go while my eyes are still closed.
01:00:21I'll go while my eyes are still closed.
01:00:36I'll go while my eyes are still closed.

01:01:03THE END
01:01:31THE END
01:01:54THE END
01:02:09Someone's running here! He looks hurt!
01:02:18Give me a hand!
01:02:25Give me a hand!
01:03:02Go, go, go!
01:03:04Don't shoot me!
01:03:05Stop!
01:03:06Stop, stop!
01:03:07I'm sorry!
01:03:10That's not all the work.
01:03:10Stop!
01:03:14Stop!
01:03:15Stop!
01:03:17Stop, stop!
01:03:18Stop!
01:03:19Stop, stop!
01:03:21Help!
01:03:21Don't shoot me!
01:03:23Go, give me a hand!
01:03:24Get ready!
01:03:25Let's go.
01:04:14Tell the colonel we've had warnings, so we'll be able to hold him off for a while.
01:04:18But he better get help here as fast as he can.
01:04:20Yes, sir.
01:04:23All right, close the gates.
01:04:27Open those gates again.
01:04:29No one else leaves the fort.
01:04:30I am not a prisoner.
01:04:32I will not be detained like a prisoner.
01:04:34We need every man here.
01:04:35I gave you warning, but you wouldn't listen to me.
01:04:38Now you expect me to die with the rest of you.
01:04:40But I'm not such a fool.
01:04:41Open those gates and let me make my own way.
01:04:44Butler.
01:04:52Why did you give them warning, butler?
01:04:54What information did you have?
01:04:56It's enough that I warned them.
01:04:57You said they would attack within 24 hours.
01:05:00That was a good prediction, wasn't it?
01:05:01Kiwanan's son, Kioga, was murdered approximately 24 hours ago.
01:05:06Did you know that, butler?
01:05:07What is one Indian to me?
01:05:10How did you know Kioga was murdered?
01:05:12It came to me in a vision.
01:05:13How many shots were in your vision, butler?
01:05:16As many as it takes to kill an Indian.
01:05:18One is enough for a man who knows how to shoot.
01:05:20But there's twice as much pleasure in two.
01:05:22And what pleasure was there in going to Kiwanan and telling him about the new muskets?
01:05:26That's a lie.
01:05:27A mohawk told him.
01:05:29You take the word of a mohawk against that of a white man.
01:05:31Mohawks don't lie, butler.
01:05:33You know that.
01:05:36You kill Kioga because they're coming!
01:05:44We'll let you out, Mr. Butler.
01:05:46Since you insist, open the gates.
01:05:49Tell the mohawks we use the new muskets most regretfully.
01:05:52If you have the chance...
01:06:06Open!
01:06:08Let me in!
01:06:10By the gates.
01:06:12Go, further!
01:06:14Let me in!
01:06:15Peter, catch my muskets.
01:06:17Open it up!
01:06:19Inmess his name!
01:06:22Go, further!
01:06:25Hurry up, Mr. Butler!
01:06:34Go inside and get ready to help the wound.
01:06:36It will be better for you.
01:06:41Get in.
01:07:00I will need to talk.
01:07:01How may I be?
01:07:01Go, further!
01:07:01Bye,ばい.
01:07:04I want you to come with me!
01:07:07Let's go.
01:07:37Wait!
01:07:46Wait!
01:08:07Wait!
01:08:07Wait!
01:08:09Wait!
01:08:35That's already hidden!
01:08:37Let's go.
01:09:11They're leaving.
01:09:12They'll be back.
01:09:13But we'll give them the same and better when they do.
01:09:16Peter, bring wine.
01:09:17Free wine for everybody.
01:09:20And brandy too.
01:09:21It is too good for the Indians.
01:09:22They won't appreciate it.
01:09:28Fuck up, man.
01:09:29It's not nearly as painful as childhood.
01:09:31And how would you know, miss?
01:09:34We gave them what we did.
01:09:36They've run off with their feathers dragging.
01:09:38Will they come back?
01:09:39And with more men.
01:09:42What if help doesn't arrive in time?
01:09:44We don't think that way.
01:09:46We say we'll hold them off until help arrives.
01:09:49Jonathan shouldn't be allowed to fight.
01:09:51He might be blinded or have his hands wounded.
01:09:54He must be wasted this way.
01:09:55He's an artist.
01:09:56He would not even be a good artist if he were not first a man.
01:09:59And today is fighting day, even for us women.
01:10:04Greta.
01:10:05I've said some nasty things about you and I'm sorry.
01:10:09I did not even hear them.
01:10:11It is my disposition.
01:10:13Greta.
01:10:16Do you love Jonathan?
01:10:19Jonathan does not love me.
01:10:21Nothing else matters.
01:10:23It is that way many times.
01:10:25Love commands but never obeys.
01:10:28I must bring wine to the men.
01:10:30They are thirsty.
01:10:36What are you standing there for?
01:10:38These people need tending to.
01:10:39Will.
01:10:41Will.
01:10:43Will.
01:11:14please Michael.
01:11:19If we are left alive, come back to Boston, Jonathan.
01:11:24No, not to marry me.
01:11:25I have no hope anymore.
01:11:27But to work.
01:11:28Or, at least live to work.
01:11:31I don't know Cynthia.
01:11:32There is lots to think about.
01:11:42Let's go.
01:12:19We can hold the wall super long here.
01:12:21Retire!
01:12:22Take whatever cover possible.
01:12:42Move it!
01:13:12Come on!
01:13:18Out of the windows!
01:13:53Out of the windows!
01:14:32The dead are like leaves of grass underfoot, and yet they died for nothing.
01:14:39For who has won this battle?
01:14:42Neither white man nor Indian.
01:14:45Behold your prisoner, Kawanan.
01:14:46But not the great nations of the Iroquois.
01:14:49For now, the Iroquois will listen to the warnings of the Tuscarora, and the war fires will burn from the
01:14:55salt ocean to the great river.
01:14:58The white man will be driven from the lands of the Iroquois with a French a hundred years ago.
01:15:02For one.
01:15:11There's the man who killed your son.
01:15:13He was no man's friend, not yours nor ours.
01:15:16He would have had us destroy each other to have this valley for his own.
01:15:19Is it for this man we must set our world on fire?
01:15:22Do we give him what he wanted even though he is dead?
01:15:29Too many have died already because of him.
01:15:40We are, Captain.
01:15:41That's all of them.
01:15:42Take good care of them now.
01:15:43If you ever come to Boston, do come and visit us.
01:15:47You too, Greater.
01:15:48It's really been wonderful knowing you.
01:15:50I must say I'll certainly be glad to get back to Boston as civilization and away from all these disgusting
01:15:55Indians.
01:15:58Deliver my paintings to the Massachusetts Society, Cynthia.
01:16:01There are eleven more than they ordered.
01:16:03Aren't you coming with us?
01:16:05No, dear Aunt Agatha.
01:16:06I'm staying right here.
01:16:13Goodbye, Cynthia.
01:16:15Have a good trip.
01:16:17Love commands, but it never obeys.
01:16:21Greta taught me that.
01:16:23You always knew that, Cynthia.
01:16:25You are also a woman.
01:16:28Greta.
01:16:29I still think you're the smartest woman I've ever known.
01:16:41Now we can truly dry our tears.
01:16:43For the Great Spirit has sent us a son in the place of he who was taken away.
01:16:49And for this reason we give you the name, Kyoga.
01:16:53May you be happy until your spirit leaves us.
01:16:59Now, go to Oneida.
01:17:05Why are you closing your eyes?
01:17:07I'm waiting to be kissed.
01:17:09In front of all these people?
01:17:10Well, there are some things worth learning from the white man.
01:17:25Well, there are some things worth learning from the white man.
01:17:28When I am feeling of you
01:17:33I'll place the strength of my man Joe
01:17:38And tell me my life is true
01:17:44Make a kiss, little sweetheart
01:17:48When the day is gone
01:17:54Make a kiss, little sweetheart
01:17:58Like the earth is the sun
01:18:03So when I come of my man Joe
01:18:07The world is running along
01:18:13I'll place the strength of my man Joe
01:18:18When I put my heart in my soul
